If your interested and want to geek out have a read. It going to be interesting to see how Brentford do next season.

This whole moneyball thing is much more suited to baseball, which is extremely individualistic, than to footy. The whole premise of baseball is pitcher versus batter, how the pitcher throws and how the batter hits is in no way dependant upon anyone other than themselves. Sure you have teamwork in the field, but the game is largely won or lost on those individual tussles. In football virtually everything you do is dependant upon your teammates. It's apples and oranges.
Liverpool's model pointed to Lambert as undervalued, and I suppose given the price vs his production two seasons ago they would have been right mathmatically. Worked out well for them. |

They focussed on their youth development years ago, sold some players and re-invested in the squad. It's not exactly rocket surgery. But if you're someone at that club, and everyone thinks you've got some sort of magic formula, you're not going to play it down, are you? Especially when there's so many big clubs in Europe who are happy to throw money at anyone with magic beans. |
